The interactions between solute atoms and crystalline defects such as vacancies, dislocations, and grain boundaries are essential in determining alloy properties. Here (Nature Communications, (2019) 10:4484) we present a general linear correlation between two descriptors of local electronic structures and the solute-defect interaction energies in binary alloys of body-centered-cubic (bcc) refractory metals (such as W and Ta) with transition-metal substitutional solutes.
The School of Engineering at the University of Southampton is in the process of recruiting new Faculty members at levels 5 and 6 (assistant / associate professors), in civil, aerospace and mechanical engineering. The full advert can be consulted here, with more details here. Deadline for applications: November 5th 2019.
We are looking for an Academic Associate to join the Department of Engineering. This post is part-time and in addition you will be required to register for a PhD part-time for the duration of the 5-year post. The PhD is not part of the Academic Associate position. Part-time PhD fees will be paid by the Department for 5 years and the PhD will be in the area of 3D printing of Smart Shape Memory Materials for Advanced Sensors and Actuators.
PhD Title: 3D printing of Smart Shape Memory Materials for Advanced Sensors and Actuators
Dear colleagues,
On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee and the International Scientific Committee, we would like to invite you to organize mini-symposia for the upcoming ASCE joint EMI-PMC 2020 conference at Columbia University in the City of New York, May 26-29, 2020.
PhD positions are available at the University of Minnesota in the group of Prof. Stefano Gonella. The positions are in the general area of mechanics and physics of solids and structures, with emphasis on mechanical metamaterials. Topics of current interest are:
1) Topological metamaterials;
2) Nonlinear waves in metamaterials and architected solids;
3) Tunable and programmable metastructures.
In this paper we discuss the mechanics of anelastic bodies with respect to a Riemannian and a Euclidean geometric structure on the material manifold. These two structures provide two equivalent sets of governing equations that correspond to the geometrical and classical approaches to nonlinear anelasticity. This paper provides a parallelism between the two approaches and explains how to go from one to the other. We work in the setting of the multiplicative decomposition of deformation gradient seen as a non-holonomic change of frame in the material manifold.
